Pakistan arrests father, uncle in Italian's 'honor' killing


Pakistani police on Tuesday arrested the father and the uncle suspected in an "honor" killing of a 25-year-old Italian citizen, a woman of Pakistani origin who refused to marry the man they chose for her. Members of the Pakistani community in Brescia, Italy, rallied this weekend there, demanding the truth about her death. Cheema graduated from high school in Brescia, receiving Italian citizenship last September. If confirmed, her case will be the second recently publicized honor killing in Punjab where the father and the ex-husband of a British-Pakistani woman, Samia Shahid, were charged in 2016 over her rape and murder. The trial in Shahid's case is still underway but her father died last year, leaving only her ex-husband in the docks now.
